I wont buy rebuilt items.
But remanufactured items are about as good as new ones. Only the old case is reused. All the internal parts are new. Or are supposed to be.
And from a reputable company, they will be.

That certainly isn't the case where I do business.
The rebuild shop I deal with basically does re-manufacture them. They may use some more parts from the old unit that are still healthy than just the case, but they rewind the motor windings, new brushes, bearings, etc.
I've watched them do this from start to finish before.
